They Tricked Me
I forgot to mention my experience. On the Ski Trip, night skiing Saturday, some of the adults got me to ski down a double black diamond - and I’m barely a Green skiier! On the map, the night slope only crossed the hill of death. But when you get there, you have to actually go DOWN the hill of death a few hundred yards to pick up the green slope again.
Seems like everyone knew this fact but me, till I got there! Talk about scared. But surprisingly I made it down without falling - at least on the hill of death. I actually did fall when the slope transitioned to the green. I cut up the hill too much and came to a complete and sudden stop. Then I started going downhill backward! I couldn’t stop, so I dropped.
Needless to say once I got back to the Lodge after the hill of death, I called it a night. I figured I survived my first black slope intact, so why temp fate or Murphy.
